No complaints with the Touratech.

on my 1600km (1000mi) bike trip from Calgary to Kamloops and back I kept the gas receipts and used the odometer trip meter. My calculation showed i got 4.5l/100km (62 imperial mpg). On these BC highways we were often restricted to 90 to 100 kph.

It's and old thread but I just installed the PIAA530 kit. So far I like it and it was a fairly easy install. Up here in Calgary it is light out till 10:00 or 11:00 at night in the summer so the lights are for more to be seen as compared to seeing better. A guy almost cut me off on 17'th avenue...

Not normal and it doesn't go into neutral. Try pushing it around on a level surface with it off with the clutch pulled in and in gear and try again in neutral. Should be easier in neutral but not impossible in gear with the clutch pulled. My 2 cents.

My bike is the freedom machine that takes me places to where I want to go. The ride is only half the adventure. The Tenere serves the purpose well.
